Ronald McDonald House Morgantown Volunteer Opportunities

Prepare a Meal

Come to the RMH Morgantown to cook a meal for our families and help ease their burden of having to be in the kitchen instead of their child’s bedside. This is a great opportunity for a group of 2 or more volunteers, (maximum of 10) to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Welcome Bags

This is a great project for groups that include youth volunteers under age 14. Decorating the bags before filling them is also a fun group project for children who are interested in volunteering. You can prepare for approximately 20 individuals. Assemble welcome bags off site and choose the contents for our families. Bags can be either disposable or reusable. All contents must be individually wrapped, unexpired and factory sealed/prepackaged.

Family Social Hour

Bring snacks or desserts and plan activities for the families to do together. These events help alleviate stress, give families the opportunity to spend time together and can stimulate positive, hopeful feelings. (2-6 volunteers. Maximum of 10)

RMHCinema: Bring a G, PG or PG-13 movie and a supply of snacks and drinks.

Bake & Decorate: Bake and decorate cake, cookies or brownies for our families. Children in the House may want to participate. Food Preparation Guidelines. For an accessible version of this PDF, please contact 412-246-1104.
